WASHINGTON, March 4.—Grover Cleve land of New York, thrice nominated for president of the United States and twice elected, was Saturday successfully in ducted into that high office for his second term with uil appropriate ceremonies and the gathering of a mighty multitude, ana with the accompaniment of a blinding snowstorm, lint notwithstanding every disadvantage of weather the last occasion was greater than the first. Had the at mospheric conditions been anything like favorable, instead of being as bad as they could possibly lie, there would probably have been GO,OOO men and a number of ladies marching or riding in t he parade, as against 25,000 iu 1885. They were ull here waiting to fall in line, but at the last moment many of the organizations were compelled to de sist from participation. Nevertheless the occasion was made memorable by the vast attendance. The governors also of 11 great states- New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Massachusetts in the north and east, Penn sylvania and Maryland among the middle states, Georgia, North and South Carolina and Louisiana in the south and Wisconsin in the far weßt—participated in the na tional ceremonies, and thereby emphasized the complete restorat ion of national unity. The order of proceeding was almost iden tically the same as four years ago, with the MEETING OF THE PRESIDENT-ELECT AND PRESIDENT 1 HARRISON AT THE WHITE HOUSE. action or tne ctiier participants reversed, and it differed very little, except in the ex tent of the demonstration, from the cere monies of eight years ago, which brought Mr. Cleveland to Washington (on the 2d of March, 1885) for the first time in public career. There are four great leading features of inauguration day: The closing hours of congress, into which so much lawmaking and history are frequently crowded; the ride of the retiring president and the presi dent and vice president elect, with their military escort, from the White House to the capitol, to lny down and take up the reins of power respectively; the pageant of the returning procession and review after the ceremonies of inauguration are over, and the inauguration ball at night. Since blunt old John Adams, gripsack in hand, "slid" out of the White House in the early morning dawn of March 4, 1801, to avoid extending to his hated rival, Thomas Jefferson, the hospitalities of the executive mansion, there has been no break in the uni form courtesy extended every four or eight years by the retiring chief to his successor unless there be excepted the personal mis understanding which arose between Presi- j dent Andrew Johnson and General Grant in the last days of the former's administra tion, which made their intercourse a frigid ( formality. - J In this year oT grace courtesy between the outgoing and incoming powers has reigned supreme, as witness the banquets given by the senate without distinction of party to Vice President Morton and Secre tary Carlisle: the reception tendered by Vice President Morton to Vice President Stevenson, and the marked civilities ex j changed betweeu Presidents Harrison and j Cleveland. "I desire the ideas of President ; Harrison carried out as to my conveyance | to the inaugural ceremonies," wrote Mr. | Cleveland. "A very sensible suggestion is attributed to him, and that is that 1 ride in his carriage as he did in mine on the 4th of March. 1889." TIIE MARCH TO THE CAPITOL. And so it was. All the ceremonial calls and the other niceties of the day were ob served between them with a cheerful alac rity indicative of almost cordial friendship. The scene along the line of march was such as no city but Washington and no street but its broad, well paved Pennsylvania avenue could produce. Public and private stands along the line of march from the capitol to a point beyond the White House had an estimated seating capacity of 60,000 persons, and every one of them was crowd ed. Profiting by past, experience and bear ing in mind the discomfort occasioned by the wretched weather of four years ago, ucarly all of the stands were made both wind and waterproof, and thus afforded 'ar more pleasant shelter than ever before. The finishing touches to the decorations tfere not accomplished until almost the last moment, but they were effective, though not so varied or artistic as those which New York, under the direction of its committee on taste, displayed on the occasion of its Columbian celebration. The preponderance of red, white and blue bunting, unrelieved by other tints, gave an air of sameness to the general effect which might well have Early in the day Vice President Elect and Mrs. Stevenson drove to the Arlington and were ushered into the Cleveland apart ments. Shortly after a fine four-in-hand turnout of white horses with white har ■ ness came briskly around the corner and | drew up in front of the hotel. As every one knew, it was the one which had been provided to convey the president and the president elect to the capitol. Then ensued a touching little scene. The president elect had waved a general au re voir to the party of official and personal friends gathered about him and was about to pass through the doorway when Mrs. Cleveland called him back, and with utter disregard for the assembled company threw her arms about her husband and kissed him several times, bidding him "godspeed" on his way to take the oath of ' office. Those who saw this leavetaking en deavored to look unconscious of what was going on, but the act of Mrs. Cleveland was done so simply and with such womanly j grace that it seemed to be the most nat ural occurrence in the world and endeared the wife of the president elect to all those in the apartment. 1 Mr. Cleveland, escorted by Senator Teller ' and Senator Ransom, entered his carriage and was ranidlv driven to the White House, rollowed by the escort, the vice president | elect and the members of the new cabinet. FREELAND, LUZERNE COUNTY, PA., MARCH 6, 1893. i ney were received by Fresident nam son in the blue room. Five minutes later the president and his successor reappeared, and entering an open carriage the inarch of the procession to the capitol was begun. President Harrison wore an overcoat with fur collar and cuffs; Mr. Cleveland's over coat had a plain velvet collar. Both of course wore silk hats. They rode in Presi dent Harrison's carriage, drawn by four bay horses. THE OATH OF OFFICE Administered to Cleveland by Chief Justice Fuller and to Stevenson by Vice President Morton. WASHINGTON, March 4.—Capitol hill, as far as the eye Could reach from the east ern front of the capitol, was an undulating sen of humanity assembled to witness the administering of the oath of office to the new president by the chief justice of the United States and to hear, as many of them as could get within earshot, the in augural address. The picturesque and thoroughly repub lican practice of taking the oath of office and delivering the inaugural address in the open air in the presence of the people was begun by Zachary Taylor in 1849. Pre viously the inaugural address had been read in the senate chamber. The proceedings at the capitol followed a prescribed programme issued by the com mittee of arrangements, as follows: The east doors of the senate wing of the capitol were opened at 10 o'clock a. m. to those who were entitled to admission, and the doors of the senate chamber were opened' at 11 o'clock a. m. to those entitled to ad mission. The president and the president elect en tered the senate wing by the bronze doors in the east front., each accompanied by a member of the committee of arrangements. The president went directly to the presi dent's room, and the president elect to the vice president's room, where they remained until they entered the senate chamber. Having been introduced by the committee of arrangements, they occupied seats re served for them in front of the presiding officer. The committee of arrangements occupied seats ou their left. CHIEF JUSTICE FULLER. The vice president elect was accompanied -o the capitol by a member of the commit ,ee of arrangements and proceeded to the •rice president's room, where lie remained ■jutil he entered the senate chamber, where the oath of office was administered to him by the vice president. The diplomatic corps assembled in the marble room and proceeded in a body at 11:15 a. m. to the senate chamber, where they occupied seats on the right of the chair. The chief justice, the associate jus tiees and the ex-associate justices of the supreme court also occupied seats on the right of the chair. The supreme court en tered the senate chamber a few minutes before the president. In tlie Senate Cliunilter. The heads of the executive departments, the major general of the army command ing, the admiral of the navy and officers of the army and navy occupied seats on the left of the chair. The governors of states, ex senators of the United States, judges of the court of claims and of the supreme court of the dis trict, and the commissioners of the district, occupied seats east of the main entrance. The members of the house of representa tives entered the seuate chamber by the main entrance at 11:30 a. m. and occupied seats on the right of the chair next to the diplomatic corps. After the organization of the new seuate under the call for an extra session was completed by the swearing in of the mem bers elect, among whom was Martin of Kansas, those assembled in the senate chamber proceeded through the rotunda to the plat form on the central portico of the capitol in the following order: The marshal of the District of Columbia and marshal of the supreme court, the ex vice president, the supreme court, the ser geant-at-arms of the senate, the committee of arrangements, the president and the president elect, the vice president and the secretary of the senate, members of the seuate, the diplomatic corps, heads of de partments. The major general of the army command ing, the admiral of the navy and the officers of the army and navy, members of the house of representatives and members elect, governors of states, ex-members of the sen ate of the United States, officers of the sen ate and officers of the house of representa tives. On reaching the portico the president and president elect took the seats reserved for them, the chief justice on their right and the sergeant-at-arins of the senate on their left. The committee of arrangements oc cupied seats next to the presidentand pres ident elect. The ex-vice president and as sociate justices of the supreme court, the vice president, secretary and members of the senate occupied seats on the right. The diplomatic corps occupied the seats on the left of the president. Heads of de partments, the major general of the army commanding, the admiral of the navy and the officers of the army and navy who by name have received the thanks of congress, governors of states and ex-members of the senate took seats west of the president. The members and members elect of the house occupied seats reserved for them in the rear of the above. Then came the solemn ceremony of .ad ministering the oath of office to Grover Cleveland, which act made him in fact the president of the United States. Amid a I silence that was impressive .Chief Justice (Continued on l'age I.) INJUSTICE AT STOCKTON. Linkerinan & Sheer's Employe* Must Go or Deal In the Company Store. A few days ago mention was made of an order posted by Linderman Sc Skeer, operators of the Stoekton collieries, pro hibiting Ilazleton and other merchants from driving into that town to supply the employes of the company with gro ceries, meat, etc. The notice, however, had little effect on the merchants, who continued to send their agents there to take orders and deliver goods. We are informed that the company have now adopted a more direct and ef fective means of coercing their em ployes into dealing in the store, that of serving notice on them that unless they buy their mine supplies, groceries, etc., from the company store they will be ob liged to vacate the company's houses and seek emyloyment elsewhere. Our informant says that one of the men receiving such notice went to the office of the company to inquire the the cause thereof, when he was inform ed that if he desired to remain he would have to buy in the company's store and from the company's butcher. All this in "The land of the free and the home of the brave."— Standard. Jeffrey Denie.s a Ituinor. Representative Jeffrey circled among friends in town yesterday. In conversa tion witli a representative of the TRI BUNE he stated he had heard rumors about town that he had failed to show any courtesy or give any attention to the delegation which went to Harrisburg from here last week to protest against the new county bill. Mr. Jeffrey claimed he has been placed in a false light by some parties in this matter. lie says lie was appointed on the committee 011 appropriations by the legislature, and when the delegation ar rived at Harrisburg on Tuesday lie was busy with legislative business, lie left the capital at 3 p. ni. that day for Ilazle ton, to view the hospital there, and could not have been seen by anyone that even ing in Harrisburg, as some people allege. He denied that he was in any manner discourteous to the delegation, and said lie would have given them any informa tion they wished if he had not been otherwise engaged. He was very much annoyed at the rumors circulated through town and hoped the people would not believe him guilty of neglect or offense when he was fulfilling as faithfully as he could the duties of his office. Breakers on Fire. No. 2 breaker at Highland, owned by Mark Ie & Co. caught fire in some un known manner late Saturday afternoon. The whistle summoned help and the men living in the neighborhood respond ed quickly. After considerable trouble they succeeded in quinchingthe llames, but not before a large part of the wood work was burned. None of the ma chinery of the breaker was damaged, and the carpenters, who were put to work repairing it yesterday, expect to have it all right in a day or two. The No. 2 breaker at Oakdale, owned by the same company, also had a nar row escape from destruction on Thurs day night. In some unaccountable way it caught fire, but had not made much headway until it was discovered and after a little hard work extin guished. Judge Green's SuceeHHor. Governor Pattison on Thursday sent to the senate the nomination of Mason Weidman to be judge of the Schuylkill county court, vice Judge Green, deceas ed. Shortly after its receipt the senate met in executive session. Senator Keefer, of Schuylkill, objected to the consideration of Mr. We id man's ap pointment at that time, and at his re quest it was laid aside. The objection to the confirmation of Weidman is based on the allegation that he was appointed through corporation influence, and that the judgeship should he given to a Republican, inasmuch as the Democrats now have two of their party on the bench in Schuylkill. Sold by Br. Scliilclier. That old established cough remedy, Downs' Elixir, still more than holds its own in the public estimation, despite sharp and active competition. It is a "home remedy," and in this locality needs no words of praise from us, so well and favorably known is it. It is the standard remedy for coughs, colds and all throat troubles, with great numbers of our people, and their con tinued use and unsolicited recommenda tion of it speaks volumes in its favor.— Burlington, Vt.. Free Press, January 20, 1882. ' * l)id at Danville. Catherine McGill, a patient in the Danville insane asylum, died at that institution last week. No record of her relatives can be found further than that she was admitted in 1887, having been sent there from the Laurytown alms house. If any one belonging to her de sires to claim the body they should com municate with poor director Monroe, of Hazleton, at once. Wanted by tlie Police. Manus Dugan, 21 years old, formerly of Prceland, is wanted badly by the coal and iron police. He is the man who shot Joseph Maure at Sheppton on Mon day. A reward is offered for his arrest. —Sentinel. When Baby was sick, we gavo her Castorla.' When she was a Child, she cried for Castoria. When she became Miss, she clung to Castoria.

Brislin, W. F. Brngan, George Faltze and Michael Mc- Gill were elected delegates yesterday by the Young Men's T. A. B. Society, to attend the quarterly convention to be held on April 30 at Beaver Meadow.

Correspond ence and other items are on the third page. The receivers of the Reading Hystem are suspending many car inspectors, sec tion hands and all employes without whose Help they can get along. Presi dent McLeod had a $50,000 car built for his private use just before the crash, hut that probably lias nothing to do with the ease. That Freeland is a town which could support a first-class opera house was plainly shown during the past week. For seven nights in succession targe audiences have been the rule, and to morrow evening's play will draw well also. The people deserve better accom modations from the proprietor. "The Cannon Hall Express." The attraction at the opera house tomorrow evening will be Robt. Don nolly's latest and most successful comedy drama, "The Cannon-Bail Express." Of a recent performance the Philadelphia Time* says: "The Cannon-Ball Express," a four net comedy drama, written by Robt. J. Donnolly, a New York journalist, was given its initial presentation yesterday at the Grand opera house before an audience which even crowded the standing room space. It was enthusiastically received, es pecially the sensational features, which included the explosion of a bomb ami the destruction of a confederate prison, the hero's escape on the "Cannon-Ball Express," from which the drama takes its name, and his rescue frora a quartz crusher, which is in full operation. The story is simple yet effective, and shows the scheming of a villainous uncle for a fortune, his ultimate defeat, and its restoration to the rightful heir. A spice of novelty is thrown around the play by its qemi-military character, the opening scene being laid in a Con federate camp, hut interest is maintain ed until the close, when the happy denouement is maiie. Edwin C. Haves sustains the leading role, that of Dick Noel, a Union cavalryman, and was very clever in his interpretation.
